<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2972790, member: 14873&quot;]I have re-written my <a href="http://jp29.org/cgallerysct.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/cgallerysct.htm" rel="nofollow"><u>Britannic coinage of the Tetrarchy annotated Photo Gallery</u></a> page as follows:</p><ul> <li>The London Mint coinage information is now based on THE ROMAN IMPERIAL COINAGE, Volume VI, Londinium (RIC - Sutherland) and THE LONDON MINT OF CONSTANTIUS AND CONSTANTINE (CT - Cloke/Toone) which includes considerable additional and revised material, including a new catalog numbering and attribution system and a rarity assessment for each listed coin.</li> <li>RIC uses follis/folles as the nomenclature for this coinage while CT uses nummus/nummi.</li> <li>I use RIC catalog numbers for all coin depictions (if applicable) and include equivalent CT catalog numbers where appropriate.</li> <li>CT uses a rarity assessment scale for London Mint coinage which I believe is realistic and up-to-date being based on four significant Census Hoard finds that comprise over 3,000 London Mint coins:</li> <li>C - Common: 25 to 150 examples (over 150 - very common CC)<br /> S - Scarce: 5 to 24 examples<br /> R - Rare: 0 to 4 examples (0 - very rare RR)</li> <li>The CT catalog system seems very complex at first blush, but I have found it to be very easy to use with a little practice.</li> </ul><p>This is the first of my web pages on which I have melded the information contained in these two seminal London Mint references together. As with any updated web page there are undoubtedly some errors and omissions. I ask all Forum members who are interested in this coinage to please review this page and post comments, corrections and suggestions here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
